Spices & Knives

Our kitchen is undergoing a major redo - granite countertops, new floor.  After 20 years, I can't really argue, but believe me, you can't kill formica.  But, times move on.


I had arranged a couple of drawers long ago - the spice drawer, where I had built a series of angled shelves and arranged the spices alphabetically.  Just because I still had some Ann Page spices that certainly had lost their potency, there was order.


The knife drawer is no different - I built an extremely clever 10-knife holder, the big ones on the right, down to the paring knives on the left.  There was a knife order, so you could shoot in, and claim the knife you were after.


It was the engineer in me.  Certain others, who will go unnamed, although we are a 2-person household, would slam the knives in wherever.


When great plans go awry.
